One person was killed and two seriously injured in a two-alarm fire in Malibu that started at a home and spread into nearby brush, Los Angeles County fire officials said.
Firefighters were called to a two-story house on the 2100 block of Rambla Pacifico Street in Malibu at 3:33 a.m. Sunday, where a fire had consumed a significant portion of the house, according to the Los Angeles County Fire Department.
The fire spread into nearby brush, charring almost four acres, and moved downhill, propelled by winds of 10 to 15 mph. It threatened two nearby houses, officials said.
